Fuse Washington

WHO WE ARE
Fuse is a state-based online advocacy group working to provide a cutting edge online organizing and communications hub for Washington State. Fuse combines online organizing and communications with real world action to empower people to demand a better future from their leaders. They have already brought tens of thousand of new activists into the system to demand and reward bold leadership, making progressive goals mainstream. Fuse is modeled after ProgressNow in Colorado.

WHAT WE DO
Fuse offers busy but concerned people fast, easy and fun ways to make their voice and values heard and make a difference on the full range of causes people care about – the environment, economic and social justice, education, civil liberties, and others. Too many important common sense solutions are not politically feasible in Washington today. We believe that a stronger democracy is the best path to solving this problem – that by joining together people can overcome the influence of big money in politics.

Our goals are to:

• Build a stronger progressive movement in Washington. We will use innovative, internet-based organizing and communications to dramatically expand active public support for progressive causes and leaders.
• Secure major advances in public policy. Working with our partners, we will use the power of serious numbers of real people to generate bolder leadership from our elected officials.
